Genes affected

USB1 (HGNC:25792): (U6 snRNA biogenesis phosphodiesterase 1) This gene encodes a protein with several conserved domains, however, its exact function is not known. Mutations in this gene are associated with poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN), which shows phenotypic overlap with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) caused by mutations in the RECQL4 gene. It is believed that this gene product interacts with RECQL4 protein via SMAD4 proteins, explaining the partial clinical overlap between PN and RTS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 11 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-58001495-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-58001495-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 1453838.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu6Trpfs*45) in the USB1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USB1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20817924, 25044170). This variant is present in population databases (rs781151070, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with USB1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1453838). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
